No closed primary

So now they want to take my vote away. Register with us, the Republicans say, or you can’t vote in “OUR” primary. 

Well I’ve got news for you folks. I’m not particularly enamored with either the Republicans or the Democrats. I will not register with either one. So if the Democrats decide on a closed primary, will I then not be able to vote at all? 

In either primary, it is my right to choose the candidate who I feel best shares my values. If you don’t like that, too bad. —Joel Vignere, Lakeside
